As tho season progresses one notes
the increase in the popularity of hello
trope in its many shades. Sometimes
the color is so light IS to be a pale
lavender. and again it is deep enough
to be taken for dahlia, The fine
English straws are especially effective
in the latter shade, and the choice of
decoration is almost unlimited, pale
pink lilac. white lilac just opening and
having a green tinge. mignonette,
violets. pansies. convolvuli and white
roses being used.
In shapes. capotes. small pokes.
turbans. round hats and few Rubens
are seen. They are all in the fashion
able tones. but are especially smart in
the heliotrope. A capote of heliotrope
straw has its edge finished with full
puff of heliotrope net that rests close
on the hair. In front is a bunch Of
pink convolvuli. the coloring of which
is subdued by draping of heliotrope
net. The bride is of the net and is
fastened with small pearl-headed pins.
Another heliotrope hat partakes Of
the turban effect. though the shape is
different. The crown is high and
rather square, and the rolling brim.
which is very high in the back. slopes
off from each side to the front. whore
it becomes quite narrow and does not
roll at all This brim is faced with
oliye-green velvet smoothly applied; in
front are three small olive tips that
are drawn into a mass of fluffiness. and
1T the point where they are fastened
and resting on the brim is fiat bow of
heliotrope ribbon. This hat is worn
over the face, and a veil of heliotrope
Russian net is in harmony with it.
A large hat is of Tuscan of very
yellow shade. and its brim of lace
straw is faced with brown silk net laid
in plaits and showing artistically
through the open-work. A narrow
band of brown velvet ribbon is about
the crown, and just in front. against 4
background formed of loops of net
draped very full and high. stand yell
low pansies and brown waltiowers in
charming confusion.
A hat that seems especially adapted
for wear with cloth costume is of
dove-colored straw. In shape it is a

rolling brim is faced with velvet the
same shade; while the decoration,
which Is poised slightly to one side. is
fan composed partly of velvet and
partly of silk net. with dagger hav-
ing steel hilt stuck through the
garniture. These box turbans are Sc
we're in effect and Eying to most faces.
but are yet so smart that their vogue
is quite easy to understand. The pres
ent method of arranging the hair is in
their favor, for they conceal any lack
of curl in the bang and permit the
graceful wearing of the veil. Pine
and rough straws in the brown, gray
and mode shades are seen in these
turbans; and the trimming consists Of
the facing and whatever decoration
one may choose to stand upa little TO-
one side, SO that to the amateur mil
liner the only difficulty is in applying
the facing absolutely smooth A gold
en-brown straw has facing of the
same shade, aid it's decoration is a.
bunch of fern leaves drap ed with
brown net. Another turban is
Of gray straw faced with
olive velvet and fan of olive net
with lilies-of-the-valley and their leaves
leaning against it constitute the deco
EatiOn. A cluster Of stiff ribbon loops
made to stand high is much-liked
garniture when great simplicity is pre-
ferred.
Small. close-fitting bonnets. Of ool-
ore'l crepe. with garnitures. Of fine
flowers. are the most positive proofs of
the existence of tiny chapeaux.. A
smart specimen is of heliotrope' crepe;
the fabric is smoothly put on the
frame. except just in the CENTER. where
it is laid in few soft plaits. Across
the front is full puff of the. crepe.
which Is held down just in the. middle
